AB  - Approximately  40,000  children  are  born  in  North  America  each  year  with  congenital  heart  disease  (CHD).  Approximately  half  of  these  children  require  no  therapy,  because  the  defect  is  relatively  minor  (eg,  a  bicuspid  aortic  valve)  or  spontaneously  heals  (eg,  a  small  ventricular  septal  defect).  However,  in  the  other  half  of  these  children,  surgical  or  catheter  intervention  is  necessary.  For  some  of  the  children  in  this  group,  the  CHD  does  not  cause  hypoxemia,  circulatory  insufficiency,  or  symptoms;  these  children  typically  undergo  repair  on  an  elective  basis  in  childhood  (eg,  atrial  septal  defects  or  progressive  valvar  disease).  In  this  group  of  school-age  children,  it  has  been  shown  that  there  is  little  to  no  impact  on  the  central  nervous  system  from  either  the  unrepaired  defect  or  from  the  effects  of  anesthesia,  surgery,  or  postoperative  care  following  the  repair.1
